xdg-mime-rs

Xdg-mime-rs is a library that parses the shared-mime-info database and allows querying it to determine the MIME type of a file from its extension or from its contents.

Xdg-mime-rs is a complete re-implementation of the xdgmime C library, with some added functionality that typically resides in higher level components, like determining the appropriate icon name for a file from the icon theme.
